(;W[dq]C[Should be at D2 to be standard. My opponent did a really good job of making a perfect opening even though he was not familiar with it.

If this is a mistake, it's pretty small.]
;B[jp]
;W[qn]C[Now I am out of familiar territory. This is as far as I got into the game I was studying.]
(;B[qk]C[I choose this pincer to lessen the effects of overconcentration if he invades 3-3, which I think he will. I still will end up overconcentrated, though, just not as badly. I ws tempted to go one further out, but I was afraid he might not go 3-3 then.

I'm not sure what overconcentration you are referring to here.  I've included a variation with another option.]

Looks fine to me.  Why do you think it's a mistake?]
;W[np]
;B[no]
;W[od]C[I don't know any 3-4 joseki that don't give him the whole side in an unassailable way. Time to make something up.

So, here, white has left behind a weakness at P3 that you could exploit later, since he extended up at O4.  The other thing is that you don't need to worry about the top, as the right is bigger.]
(;B[mc]C[Obviously if I want aji on the side, I will need to play a pincer of some sort. I kind of wish I would've done N16 instead, though.

See variation.  I'm not sure I like this, because it could easily throw away a lot of black's potential on the right.]
;W[qc]
;B[rc]C[I think I've seen this joseki before. I think I looked it up when I was commenting on one of Pak0's games? Is this the right move? At this point, I don't know.]
;W[pc]
(;B[re]C[Probably should be R15, right?]
;W[jc]C[I seriously considered running with 31 at this point, and I think I should have. Running would simultaneously give 31 a chance, and put pressur on the top right white group -- it has no eyes!]
(;B[pg]C[I was looking for a move that would seal off the bottom and still connecwith my other group. I don't think this is it.]

Check the variations, I've added a few.]
(;B[nd]C[After the game, I thought this move was a big mistake, but looking at it now I'm not sure.]
;W[mh]
;B[pl]C[My thought process here was that I needed to make sure the group at the top had no where to run to, and couldn't make this group alive. I think this was a wasted move, though. 

I needed to play somewhere around N10, I think, is this right?

This is kind of pointless right now.]

(;B[nm]C[I was really trying to kill this bottom group or sever connection, but now I see that ever since I sacrificed the O12 group, it's been impossible. 

I suspect not extending at N12 helped cost me the game. Am I right or wrong about this? I can't be sure. Just a feeling.

I think the problems came in handling P16.  Black gave up way too much and didn't gain much in return.]
;W[mj]

(;B[lj]
;W[nj]
;B[md]C[Pointless.  White has no threat after he captures the stone.]
;W[nb]C[At this point I became too defensive. I wanted to just take my territory and go home. 

I should have attacked, been aggressive. I don't know why I got so passive/lazy. I really gave up the initiative here, and it let my opponent win the game easily

L17 is still big.  If you're going to go for the big center territory, also, you need to close off the bottom left somehow.]

(;B[fl]C[I think this was a terrible choice. Moyo isn't big enough; I can't give up on the side.


This may be the losing move of the game.]
;W[ek]C[At this point, I need a magic move that helps both the side and the middle. And there isn't one.

A good observation.  This tells you that you went wrong somewhere earlier.  I think it was around 87 or 89.]
;B[fk]

(;B[ej]

(;B[ei]C[too timid. I gave his invasion WAAAAY too much respect.

Maybe this was the losing move? I seem to be on a roll, losing move after losing move.]
;W[ci]
(;B[qb]C[too small. I got paranoid that I didn't have a corner. 

Korean proverb: If you have 0 corners, you lose.

In this case... see variation.]
;W[pb]
;B[rb]
;W[kd]C[There goes my chance to attack and crush down the side. I did it in the wrong order. Should have started at L17]
;B[om]C[Tiny compensation

This isn't compensation, it's just small. It's 3 points in gote, with a small ko followup.  Compare this to G15 or something.]
;W[jf]
;B[fe]C[desperately scrambling, not thinking clearly]
;W[hd]

This is a 3-4 point ko, not profit.]
